The '''Tsokanende''' ('''Chiricahua''') Apache division was once led, from the beginning of the 18th century, by chiefs such as [[Pisago Cabezón]], [[Relles]], [[Posito Moraga]], [[Yrigollen]], [[Tapilá]], [[Teboca]], [[Vívora]], [[Miguel Narbona]], [[Esquinaline]], and finally [[Cochise]] (whose name was derived from the Apache word ''Cheis,'' meaning "having the quality of oak") and, after his death, his sons [[Taza (Chiricahua leader)|Tahzay]] and, later, [[Naiche]], under the guardianship of Cochise's war chief and brother-in-law [[Nahilzay]], and the independent chiefs [[Chihuahua (chief)|Chihuahua]], [[Ulzana]], [[Skinya]] and [[Pionsenay]]; '''Tchihende''' ('''Mimbreño''') people was led, during the same period, by chiefs as [[Juan José Compa]], Fuerte also known as [[Soldado Fiero]], [[Mangas Coloradas]], [[Cuchillo Negro]], [[Delgadito]], Ponce, [[Nana (Apache)|Nana]], [[Victorio]], [[Loco (Apache)|Loco]], [[Mangus]]; '''Ndendahe''' ('''Mogollón''' and '''Carrizaleño / Janero''') Apache people, in the meanwhile, was led by [[Mahko]] and, after him, [[Mano Mocha]], [[Coleto Amarillo]], [[Luis (Ndendahe warrior leader)|Luis]], [[Laceres]], [[Felipe (Ndendahe warrior leader)|Felipe]], [[Natiza]], and finally [[Juh]] and [[Geronimo|''Goyaałé'']] (known to the Americans as Geronimo). After Victorio's death, Nana, Gerónimo, Mangus (youngest Mangas Coloradas' son) and youngest Cochise's son ''[[Naiche]]'' were the last leaders of the Central Apaches, and their mixed Apache group was the last to continue to resist [[U.S. government]] control of the [[American Southwest]].<ref>Thrapp, p. 366.</ref>
